Feature Request - Project Search & MQL Custom Blocks

[kroghd]

Hi,

I have 2 feature requests if possible they would be a great help for local version & online version.

Feature 1 - Search Work Area for Text / ID - for online verison I use CTRL-F & my browser allows this but for local version I dont have this ability & I use it alot to find blocks by their name or ID - depending on what I'm trying to find.

Feature 2 - Variables Maintenance - When maintaining variables & changing names its great you update all blocks on the project if they were referencing the old name - could you extend the search & replace behaviour into custom mql blocks also. Sometimes I change variable names & forget about my variables in MQL4 blocks & it would be so much better if you searched & replaced for these also.

Many Thanks.

I can check if the local version supports Find, because it is actlually a real Chrome browser packed into an .exe file

I wonder how can I output results in this Search and Replace in block parameters, but otherwise you are right, at least Constants and Variables must be updated when they are renamed and used with their real MQL names. Otherwise when you rename them and they are added with right-click, there will be no problem.

Thanks,
Perhaps you could possibly hook into what functionality you have that updates the variables in blocks to also search blocks of custom mql code type & replace any matches?

I have updated it, so now it renames constants/variables in parameters in all blocks...hopefully. I wonder about titles and descriptions (for areas), now those will remain unchanged.

That is great - will that be available in the next build of the local version?

The next build is up already
